ball drives matter open pieces putting saw straight together
Monty drives the ball straight and, as everyone saw at this year's Open at St Andrews, he's still very competitive. It's just a matter of putting the pieces together at the right time.
ball close closer few hole putting
I'm very close to putting it all together. I just need to make a few more putts, get the ball a little closer to the hole and it will be all good.
captains difference guys might putting
It might just be the difference in length, ... That sometimes can be something that deters captains from putting guys together.
biggest either farther great hitting normally putting weird year
That's the biggest difference, that I'm hitting it so much farther and harder. My putting is just as good, but it's been sporadic this year, which is interesting. I normally don't putt that way. This year is one of those weird years where I either putt great or I don't putt well at all.
chance hung putting quite win
Quite frankly, I probably shouldn't have been in the playoff. I wasn't putting very well at all. I just hung in there and hung in there. ... For me to have a chance to win the title, I was lucky.

certainly love playing
The PGA, over the years that I've played, has certainly been very fair. They are set up stern, but fair. I think that's why we all love playing that championship because they never go over the edge.
anyone bigger chance compliments events great interest list majors means money player ultimate win year
The Player of the Year means a lot because it's from your peers. That is like the ultimate compliment. The money list doesn't really interest me that much only because if you play more, you have a better chance of making more money and I don't play that many events. I'm concentrating on the bigger events. If I can win more events than anyone in a year and more majors than anyone in a year, it's going to be a great year.
award means player year
The Player of the Year award means a lot because it's from your peers,
angle arms club consistent matches plane swing takes timing
Without getting too technical, what I try to do is swing on the angle of the club shaft at address, ... For me, that's a consistent swing plane that matches my arms and body. It takes timing out of the equation.

Why? I can think of a million reasons.

I love to compete. That's the essence of who I am.
